Ice Cream is absolutely EXCELLENT! 5star!!! Very generous portions and excellent taste! Ice cream is very firm. NOT like the cool whip consistency with tons of air in it that most others serve. Food is what it is. Ok. Help is very friendly. Highly recomend!!!

I love the Albia Dairy Bar. I grew up going there every summer and the soft ice cream is great. If you go there and the special is lemon ice cream or yogurt, I highly recommend it!

We were on the Harley. We thought we would give this a try, not ever being there before. I ordered a small cone and my husband got a large one. Oh my word their small is the size of a large one in Centerville. My husband got a large which is equivalent to two large here in Centerville. Let me tell ya, we have found a new place for ice cream. It is worth the drive. The people serving you are so friendly and polite they make ya feel great!!!!!!. Go there for yourselves and y'all will see what I'm talking about.

Always a treat. Just got two chocolate milkshakes and a small vanilla cone to go. The small cone was HUGE. Shakes were delicious! Service was really fast. Inside is very small but clean and cute. Drive up window is handy. Good french fries too! Old school fast food. They did modernize a bit this season and replaced old style wall menus with chalkboards. Nice!
